WHAT THE ALLIED PREMIERS WILL DISCUSS.
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
LONDON, January 17. Reuter understands that the conversations at the approaching Paris conference will be confined to the disarmament of Germany, reparations, the Turkish Treaty which France is anxious to discess, and possibly the danger of the collapse of Austria. The British are of the opinion that disarma ment is not likely to need long consideration before agreement is reached, It is not thought possible that reparations can finally be settled. Probably the matter will not go beyond a general exchange of views. France and Britain have to decide how far the question is capable of settlement at present bat Britain believes that nothing definite is attainable until further information from Germany is available. The question is not only what the Allies want bat what they can get.
With reference to the Sevres Treaty it must be remembered that the position of Turkey is somewhat obscure. The whereabouts of Izzet Pasha and the mission which was sent from Constantinople to arrange matters with Mustapha Kemal are not known. It was expected that he would. leave Angora en the conclusion of its work at the end of December, but at present it is thought he is still with Mustapha Kemal,

SCATHING DENUNCIATION."
BERLIN, January 17
The well-known American communist Schwartz, of San Francisco, who for twenty years preached communist doctrines and went to Rise with bis wife to study the conditions there, has returned alone. His wife is dead. He scathingly denounces the Soviet, which he declares it a worse autocracy than Tsarism. The Soviet, which tolerates imprisonment and executions without trial, has brought Russia to starvation, disease, and death. He and his wife were thrown into prison on August 20 because they declined to express approval of the revealed conditions. They were released in December after his wife had gone on hunger strike, sending a letter to Lenin and Trotsky that she preferred death to further hardships.
WIFE'S TRAGIC DEATH.
Before imprisonment the couple, who spoke Russian fluently, toured fourteen governments. They never spoke to a single person except officials having a good word to say for Sovietism. Schwartz's wife was placed in solitary confinement for two months. After his wife's five days hunger strike, both were released and ordered to clear out. This they refused to do until their money-£1,000-with their baggage was returned to them Thereupon they were flung into prison again. Eventually the couple were Schwartz was going to sent to Reval penniless where his wife died. lecture on Bolshevism at Reval but the Bolshevik minister hearing of his intention gave him £500 to leave the city.

THE LATE SIR F. J. ÄNDERÉON,
It is officially stated that the Shah of Persia is not abdicating. On the contrary he is forming a new strong cabinet for the purpose of national defence.
LONDON, January 17. ") Persian official circles in London, have received no confirmation of the
London, January 17th. report of the abdication of the Shah. The telegram from Teheran on C.B., ex-Colonial Engine, Straits Settle. Brigadier General Sir F. J. Anderson, Jan. 16 does mention any political upheaval. Other circles in close touchments, left £2,31. with Persian affairs entirely discredit the report.
LONDON, January 17.
Reuter learns that the pituation in Persia is precarious, Pérsia having failed to ratify the Anglo-Persian agreement which would have enabled her to straighten out her affairs. The Persians think that the best alternative is an agreement with Soviet Russia, although the latter has not yet been signed. Practically it hands over Persia to the Soviet which has a right under the agreement to invade Persia whenever it thinks it is pleased to regard the country as threatened. The Persians realise that They are not getting anything out of the Soviet but owing to apprehensions of the future they want to keep on good terms with Moscow. The British evacuation of North Persia will begin in the pear future, but there cannot be any question of allowing Bolshevist interference in South Persia owing to the proximity of British territory.
